I can sort of relate to this, im autistic and i have a habit of picking up an interest and becoming obsessed with it for a while, at one point it was psychoactive chemicals that became such an obsession, due to this i spent a good while researching and then personally testing out a staggering number of chemicals.<p>One thing i did notice was that in almost all cases chemicals seemed to have a different effect on me than they did on others, not in a huge way but certainly enough to be notable. The only one to actually benefit me life wise was amphetamine which made a big difference to my life but i also have ADD which explains that<p>i think it would be quite interesting to see a comparative study of the effects of psychoactives on autistic people vs neurotypical (god i hate that word) people, obviously itll never happen but itd be interesting
